Biggest Clinical Trial Yet Gives Hope for COVID-19 Treatments

The United Kingdom has begun recruiting patients for the world’s largest clinical trial of potential COVID-19 treatments – testing several promising medicines that may globally benefit hundreds of thousands of people.

“This marks a significant step in identifying treatments for coronavirus that could benefit patients and underpins our science-backed approach to fighting this virus,” highlights Professor Chris Witty, Chief Medical Officer for England.

Almost a thousand coronavirus patients from 132 different hospitals across the nation have joined in the Randomised Evaluation of COV-id19 thERapY (RECOVERY) trial within just two weeks – and thousands more of the invited adult patients are expected to take part.
